The CUPS blog

New city, who dis? CUPS takes Philly!

Think of this as a birth announcement. We welcome with love, Philadelphia. Our new bundle of joy arrived on Tuesday, February 2nd to the CUPS app. We are joyous, proud parents. Let us introduce you to our newest family members…

1112 Locust St

Welcome to Cake and the Beanstalk, where you’ll be greeted with the smell of fresh baked goods including, well, cake! Settle down in their reading nook (yes, reading nook) with your classic cuppa and a slice of something sweet.

211 Chestnut St

A quick scroll through the Customs Coffee House Yelp page and you’ll read many stories about their friendly, accommodating staff AND killer drinks. This is the place to knock out a few hours of work without feeling like you’re getting the stink-eye from the barista.

1101 Spruce St

Greenstreet Coffee Co. has that hidden gem vibe with the flavor to match. If you still haven’t tried a Dirty Chai, 1. Why not? and 2. Get one at Greenstreet! Delish. Keep it in mind for the summer too, they have plenty of outside seating (perfect for people-watching).

230 Market St

If you have a sweet tooth, Happily Ever After is your zone. If you have a sweet tooth AND you’re a movie buff, you’re going to move in for good. Drink your coffee among one of a kind Hollywood inspired art, Simson’s action figures, and Disney pillows. Oh and did we mention the frozen yogurt dispensers?

High Point Cafe is rockin, and don’t just take our word for it. Check out their Yelp reviews! Including “This place has the best coffee I’ve ever tasted.” and “The best service I’ve ever received at a coffee shop.” Give it a try!

814 S 9th St

Step in Jasani Cafe for a caffeine fix and a shopping spree. Rows and rows of fresh beans, ready to be ground up and taken home. They roast right downstairs so make sure to take some deep breaths and fill your lungs with that sweet coffee aroma.

PHARMACY is rad to say the least. This cafe/venue duo is always up to something fun. Want to listen to an underground indie band while drinking a great cup and (probably) petting the friendly pup that often hangs out? You’re in luck!

OCF Coffee House has four locations to choose from, meaning you can do a coffee crawl that’s strictly OCF. They’re a perfect blend of cozy and contemporary. And speaking of perfect blends, try their joe.

1706 Locust St

P.S. & Co., also known as The Only Place in Philly You can Get a Brazil Nut Milk Latte. Okay don’t quote us on that, but it’s certainly unique. Everything is fresh, healthy, and full of flavor. Seating is abundant, so it’s a great lunch spot too!

249 S 13th St & 1811 JFK Blvd

Square One can be instantly identified by their bright, screaming yellow espresso machine. Have a date? Start at Square One. But really, the open spaces and bright light is a go-to for meet ups and chatting.

903 S. 9th Street

Welcome to Rome! Well, welcome to Anthony’s Cafe (pretty much the same thing). Enjoy fresh breakfast and homemade lunch options along with your latte. Anthony’s is what they call an OG, it’s been around and family owned for over 20 years!
